Hi All,

I need your expertise. I have an existing formula (that I did not create) and I want to add in the statement that if cell C6 contains "One Off" that I want the formula to return blank. Can anyone help me out and incorporate this statement into the below formula?

Thanks in advance

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(H6,".",I6,".",J6,".",AP6,".",AU6,".",AQ6,".",AR6)," ","_"),"-","_"),Templates!O$24:P$47,2,FALSE))=TRUE,"",(VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(H6,".",I6,".",J6,".",AP6,".",AU6,".",AQ6,".",AR6)," ","_"),"-","_"),Templates!O$24:P$47,2,FALSE)))
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
See if this works:

=IF(C6="one off","",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(H6,".",I6,".",J6,".",AP6,".",AU6,".",AQ6,".",AR6)," ","_"),"-","_"),Templates!O$24:P$47,2,FALSE),""))

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help. However, this did not work. Error states... Circular Reference. Any other suggestions?

Have you placed it in C6? You cant do that. It needs to check C6.

No the original formula is on Cell AS6. That's where I pasted it.
At any rate, I found another solution. All the information that goes into my form A (where this formula was) get's pasted to another form (B). I was able to edit the formula on form B to incorporate this new if statement.

Thanks again for helping me. I really appreciate it.
